Hi guys.
Thanks for any assistance in advance. I had LR 1.' installed and then a friend upgraded me to LR 1.1. Both are installed on my system still, I discovered.
LR crashed today [either that or it was my PC] and now nothing seems to want to open, as in LR can't find the files. It's probably more a case of I don't know where to find them - and I'm hoping you do. :shock:
One additional glitch and possible reason for this disappearence was Windows XP automatically changed the initial of the drive where I keep my photos [K-drive] when I used a new card reader. I reset it to K-drive, but I don't think LR liked the change [though that is my uneducated hypothesis].
When I try to open some backup files it says they have to be converted from the old .lrdb to 1.1 'catalog' files, etc. Any post-upgrade files don't even seem to be being detected at all. Basically I don't think I'm looking in the right place. As I didn't set this up initially, I'm doubly in the dark.
Here's a screen grab of the mess of drives that resulted from Windows search for 'lightroom'. I'm hoping someone can make head or tail of it, ie, where I should look for the 'master' file that successfully combined both versions of Lightroom 'til today. Anyway, I'm hoping that's the solution:

Again, thanks very much.
